How bath repair works in DN16
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and rust spots around the plughole, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
What you will pay
Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landmarks near Scunthorpe
We visit homes around The Beacon pub, Lincoln Gardens Primary School and St Bede's Catholic Voluntary Academy. The nearest railway station is Scunthorpe station, roughly 1.1 miles north. Other landmarks nearby include Scunthorpe General Hospital (1.3 miles north-west).
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around DN16, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in DN16 as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How the damage happens
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
Your questions about bath repair in DN16
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you come to DN16?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to DN16 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
